Intro
------
I have been buying this brand of chicken for around a year now as I find it to be of good quality, good value and tasty.

Packaging
---------------
The packaging is simple and minimalistic, the meat simply comes in a clear plastic tray which has a transparent film lid which I like as this way I can pick the pack with the biggest portions, lol. There's a small sticker on the left hand side which has the Tesco Value branding on and it also states the product name and use-by date.

Price and Value for Money
---------------------------------
The price varies depending on which size pack you decide to buy. For a small pack which contains two packs, it is just £2, while the medium is £4 and the large £6. It works out at £1 per chicken breast which I think is really good value and much cheaper than a majority of other brand chicken breasts. I also like that it isn't dirt cheap, as that way i'm not too worried that it's not great quality - it's brilliant quality and worth every penny.

Appearence, Taste and Smell
-------------------------------------
These chicken breasts look identical to any other, to be honest! They're skinless and light pink in colour although turn a nice shade of pale white when cooked through. They often have a speckle or two of blood but this doesn't bother me and it dissapears once the chicken has bein cooked. I've had cheap chicken breasts in the past that had a grey tinge to them (gross I know!) once cooked and these definetly do not. They taste lovely and are nice and meaty - not wattery at all like some people associate with cheap chicken, and are tender with no fatty bits or gristle, I really can not fault the taste and don't see why anyone would pay more for their chicken! Obviously I am aware of animal welfare/organic chickens etc but as a student on somewhat of a budget I like to keep costs down as much as I can and I really don't see this as a value product as it tastes as any other chicken would. The smell is quite nice, it doesn't smell overpowering or particulary meaty, I suppose it just smells the same as any other chicken does when it's cooking!

Cooking
-----------
These chicken breasts can be cooked by your preferred method, such as in the oven or perhaps the grill. I simply chop them up with a pair of scissors, put them into the frying pan along with some oil and fry them for 5-8 minutes until the pink flesh has turned white. I usually cook my chicken until it's slightly browned, and it doesn't take long to accomplish this with these chicken breasts - they cook well and thoroughly, and i've never had any issues with them tasting off/strange. The breasts do not shrink too much from cooking (they do a bit, but most meat does this) and i've never noticed it to be greasy or wattery.

Meal Ideas
---------------
I usually use these chicken breasts in homemade curries, or sometimes do my own version of sweet and sour chicken. It is also great in stir fries, soups, stews and makes a nice quick meal when matched with chips and peas. I sometimes have the leftovers cold in a sandwich the next day wth salt, mayo and pepper and it tastes lovely cold.

Use By Date
------------------
The chicken breasts are fresh and have a 4 day life code meaning that from the date you buy them you should use them within four days unless obviously the four days go over the sell-by date. I usually buy 3 or 4 packs and then freeze them, I then defrost one pack of them overnight and eat it the next day.

Nutrition
------------
These chicken breasts are really healthy and contain on average 113 calories per 100 grams of chicken breast. They also contain plenty of protein - 21 grams per 100 grams to be precise!

Overall
----------
I really can not fault these chicken breasts, they are cheap, tasty and healthy and I am able to make a variety of yummy meals out of them. Reccomended!
